Givenchy

Founded in 1952 by Hubert de Givenchy, Givenchy's ladylike style was not shy of a celebrity following from the likes of Audrey Hepburn and Jacqueline Kennedy. His work was one of subtle chic, romantic yet not extravagant. Since Hubert de Givenchy, creative directors for the distinguished French fashion house have included John Galliano, Alexander McQueen and Julien Macdonald. Today, Givenchy is under the creative reign of the Italian designer Riccardo Tisci who has won the critics over since 2005.
